    I was sold a 720p LCD tv a few years ago and nobody told me that they would be selling 1080p's for the same price a few years later.... I was sold a computer with a 60gb hd and 512 mb ram a few years ago and nobody told me that they would now be selling 320 gb/2 gb systems for the same price a...

    Thanks everyone! I will definitely review all the information. Hope it works out!
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hey guys: I'm a former Dish subscriber who switched to cable a few years ago, and now want to go back to satellite. I tried Dish, but don't have a line of sight for either the 61.5 or 129 HD satellites. So, now I'm looking at DirecTv. Question, is there a list of the DirecTv satellites and...

    No dropouts, you're either in the spot beam or your not. If you call and tell them you've moved and you give them a valid address, you shouldn't have any issues. I would tell them to keep your billing address as is. Some people think that an explanation is needed. They usually don't ask...

    Comcast in Chicago added TBS-HD last night, just in time for the Cubs/DBacks game. Maybe E*will have it turned for game 2...:confused:
  6. General DISH™ Discussion
    Is it possible to pick up 110, 119 and 129 with a Dish 500? I thought I saw a picture on this site or satguys a while back that showed someone tied a single lnb to his 110 and 119 lnbs, and pulled all 3 satellites in on Dish 500. Is it possible?
  7. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    Whoops, meant 31" dish. So do I need to position my dish in a certain place to pick up both? My plan is to lock in on G10R with my mounted lnb, tie the 2nd lnb on and then look for IA7.
  8. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    Hey guys, question for you. I will be hooking up my fta in 2 weeks at my cabin and was wondering if I can attach a 2nd LNB to pick up another satellite. My intent is to connect my stationery dish for G10 R @ 123 but was wondering if I could use plastic tie-wraps to connect a 2nd LNB to pick up...
  9. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    Is there anything worth watching on the Ku feeds? What I mean by worth watching is spending some considerable time enjoying a program vs. watching for 5 minutes and realizing it's not worth your time. Just curious...
  10. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    Guys, is there a guide somewhere on how to get up and running? I used to have Dish, so I won't have a problem mounting the dish and connecting the receiver. I'm concerned on how to get the transponders and channels up and running. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  11. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    How's this for a starter system: Fortec Star Lifetime CLASSIC NA FTA Digital satellite receiver 31" FS80P Dish Universal 0.4dB Single KU LNBF $85 plus shipping. Bought from Sadoun's ebay store. I think I got a pretty good deal... Can't wait to get it hooked up. Thanks guys!
  12. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    Guys: I am a former Dish subscriber and want to hook up FTA satellite at my cabin. Questions: 1. Can I use my existing Dish 500? I am looking to access the Galaxy 10R satellite. 2. What type of LNB do I need? 3. What are some good, cheap FTA receivers to look at. Thanks guys, I'm looking...
  13. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Can I still order the Voom originals or do I have to get the whole package? I own my 811 and travel around for work, so I am just interested in HD and locals. My current sub is AT 60 and the HD pack (9.99/month). I want to drop AT 60 and just have locals and all MPEG2 HD. Is that possible...
  14. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I also get HD OTA but don't subscribe to the locals package. Will it just appear or do you have to be a locals sub? Rain is predicted on Sunday so I'll be pissed if OTA HD isn't clear.....

    I have a feeling we are screwed come Feb 1. Maybe if we ***** enough, Charlie offers an upgrade plan in 2007. Any comments?
  17. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    It leaves us SOL. I bought my 811 6 months ago and now I will be screwed. Can't Charlie & Company figure out a plan that works for EVERYBODY??? :mad:
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    I am an AT60 and HD pack customer. Can I change to locals, HD pack and Voom only? I really don't care for much else anymore. I have one dish pointed at 110/119 and one dish at 61.5 already set up. Thanks.
  19. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    With DirecTV launching local high-def services in Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia today, I think this is a big blow to Dish. Thoughts?
  20. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    If I hook up my DVD recorder to my 811, can I record OTA and HD? Thanks.
